Yep, that's the one. Was impressed with the seller and his honest listing. He put pictures up of the very worst bits instead of hiding them. The rust seems no more then surface tbh and should clean up quite easily. He said he'd bought it back in 98 and had never taken it off road. He also mentioned that he listed it on here a while back but no one really bit.

Cheers Marc, any chance of a pic?

Dossa, I'm sure we can sort something out as the I-Beam will be coming off.

Just sold an identical one to a fella on here who had his stolen It's a great ride real lively and built for abuse from the start if you read the original adverts .Compared to a Rocky Blizzard though she is an unforgiving mistress who wants to stab you in the back on loose descents Enjoy though it looks very sweet

don't forget there is lacquer on top of the plating so you'll rub that off, when i did mine i spent ages cleaning and polishing it (with autosol etc) but it showed signs of surface rust quite quickly, especially if it was a wet ride so in the end i cleaned the hell out of it, polished it, then took it to Argos so they could re-lacquer it, now it looks spot on.

here's a couple of pics to show the finish

The lacquer's quite snotty as it is jonny so I'd thought of doing as you have. Was going to have a go at re-lacquering myself though as I don't want to chuck too much money at it for now.

I was down at Triple S with beavis yesterday dropping off his frame and they told me they can't remove the chrome (although it can be done) so a re-paint would go over the top and lead to a slightly uneven finish. Not the best so if I like the ride I might swap it for a painted frame that's easier to work with. We'll see.
